Transforming Emotions John D Lentz

Transforming Emotions comes from discoveries in neuroscience about how emotions impact others. Recent advances suggest that emotions can be not only passed like footballs, but often are and they have an impact. Feeling other peoples' feelings can cause some people difficulties, especially because they can't tell whether the feelings they are feeling are theirs or the other persons. The author realized how difficult it is for people to cope with the toxic emotions of others and went on a quest to discover ways that help. He found those ways and has written about useful things that will make life easier for you. For instance, if you are feeling content and relaxed when you enter a meeting with another person and you begin to feel angry, afraid, or even lustful, it might just not be you. You might be picking up on the emotions of the person you are with. The author offers ways to know when it is you and when it is someone else's emotions that you have begun feeling. Imagine how useful this type of knowledge is in dealing with addicts, and even in staying sober. The ideas are useful for salespeople as well as therapists, teachers, medical personal. The techniques have been useful for a wide variety of people. That emotions impact others are no longer debatable. The question is how do we cope with them and employ them usefully. The book offers a radical new way of thinking about your emotions as well as co-dependency, and emotional safety. It also offers you ways to use your understanding of what you are feeling so that you know what is going on with others. The book offers you ways to keep safe from the toxic emotions of others and how to use your emotions to impact others in positive ways. You are offered examples that are easy to understand. Not only will you find this book useful, but you may wonder how come others didn't tell you these things.
